The two first-time lovers worked hard in the kitchen for more than an hour and finally made a table of meals.
Xiao Changkun ran out and told Ye Chen and Paul: "Get ready, we can eat."
After saying that, he asked Paul again: "By the way, Paul, would you like to drink two cups tonight?"
Paul smiled and took out a hand-held gift box and said: "Uncle Xiao, I just happened to bring two bottles of 30-year-old Moutai. This bottle of Moutai is not an ordinary Moutai. It is an export version more than 20 years ago. It was
It was exported to the United States, and then collected by collectors in the United States. It has been properly preserved until now, and each bottle weighs two kilograms."
Xiao Changkun said in surprise: "The 30-year-old wine more than 20 years ago, isn't it already more than 50 years ago?"
"Yes!" Paul said with a smile: "It should be about 56 years."
Xiao Changkun sighed: "Oh, this wine is too precious. It would be a waste to give it to me. You should keep it and drink it yourself."
Paul hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiao, you don't have to be so polite to me. It was originally a gift to you. If you are willing, we will drink a bottle of it in the evening. If you are not willing, we will change it to another wine.
"
When Xiao Changkun heard this, he smiled and said: "In that case, thank you, let's have a bottle tonight!"
With that said, Xiao Changkun said to Ye Chen again: "Ye Chen, go upstairs and ask Chu Ran to come down for dinner."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then I'll go upstairs and call her."
After that, Ye Chen got up and went upstairs. When he came to the bedroom, he found Xiao Churan lying on the bed with his back to the door.
He then said: "Honey, I'm going downstairs for dinner."
While talking, Ye Chen was about to walk into the bedroom when he heard his wife say: "Oh, don't come over yet."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Churan stood up, turned his back to Ye Chen, and seemed to reach out to wipe his eyes.
Ye Chen hurriedly walked around to him, looked at her red eyes, and asked: "Wife, why are you crying again?"
Xiao Churan shook his head and stubbornly denied: "I didn't cry, it's just that my eyes felt uncomfortable."
Ye Chen said distressedly: "You are still quibbling. Your eyes are so red, and you still say you didn't cry?"
After saying that, he asked softly: "Is it because of mom?"
Xiao Churan was silent for a moment, sighed, nodded and said, "It's been almost 30 hours now, and there's still no news. I'm really afraid something might happen to my mother."
As she said that, tears welled up in her eyes again: "Besides, such a big thing happened at home. I originally expected dad to be of one mind with me, but I didn't expect him to..."
After Xiao Churan said this, he couldn't say any more. He couldn't hold his emotions any longer and started to cry loudly.
Ye Chen hurriedly reached out and held her in his arms. While patting her back gently, he comforted her in her ear: "Honey, don't cry. Mom will be fine.
Don’t worry, I promise you.”
Xiao Churan sobbed and asked: "What can you promise me? You don't know where she is, you don't know what she has been through, and you don't know if she is in danger...
.”
Ye Chen said seriously: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will not let anything happen to her. I will ask those capable friends to help find a solution."
Xiao Churan asked hurriedly: "Really? If you go to them, will they be willing to help?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Let's go ahead and give it a try. What if someone agrees? They are more capable than us and have wider connections than us. Maybe they can help us find out what happened."
Xiao Churan breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Ye Chen, thank you so much!"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Silly girl, I am your husband, why are you being polite to me?"
After saying that, he hurriedly patted her shoulder and said: "Let's go, let's go down to eat first. After eating, I will go out to find my friends to see if they are willing to help. If they are not willing, then I will
Please ask them for help, but I promise you that mom will come back safely!"
Xiao Churan nodded heavily, feeling a lot more comfortable.
Before this, she felt that she was the only one in the family who cared about her mother's disappearance. Now that she saw Ye Chen standing so firmly with her and willing to help, she was naturally relieved a lot.
Ye Chen really felt sorry for Xiao Churan at this time. It could be seen that Ma Lan's disappearance had made her worried. If Ma Lan was not allowed to come back quickly, his wife might have died before Ma Lan had any serious problems in the detention center.
Can't stand it anymore.
So he decided in his heart that he would implement it tomorrow. He had already thought of the plan, and he would probably be able to get Ma Lan back the day after tomorrow.
After comforting Xiao Churan, Ye Chen took her downstairs.
In the restaurant downstairs, Xiao Changkun and Han Meiqing have already packed a table of food together.
Paul on the side opened one of the bottles of Maotai wine. When he saw Ye Chen and Xiao Churan walking down, he smiled and asked Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, would you like to have a couple of drinks?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll have two drinks with you."
Xiao Churan on the side reminded him in a low voice: "Aren't you going to find your friends after dinner later? Otherwise, stop drinking. If you drink, you won't be able to drive."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll take a taxi there after I finish drinking. It's the first time Mr. Paul has come to my house. It's unreasonable not to have a couple of drinks with him."
Hearing this, Xiao Churan nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you stop driving."
At this time, Xiao Changkun walked out of the kitchen with a pot of West Lake beef soup. When he saw Xiao Churan, he smiled and said: "Oh Churan, I will try your Aunt Han's cooking later. I just stole it."
After taking two bites, I can tell you this, just three words, it’s great.”
Xiao Churan has no appetite for eating now. What's more, this meal was made by her mother's love rival, so she doesn't want to eat it even more.
However, due to face reasons, she could only sit down at the dining table.
Han Meiqing took off her apron at this time and walked out of the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks. When she saw Ye Chen and Xiao Churan coming down, she smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long. Finally, we can
It’s time to eat.”
After saying that, she asked Ye Chen and Xiao Churan with concern: "You two must be hungry, right? Come on, use your chopsticks quickly!"
The dining table is filled with Suzhou- and Hangzhou-style home-cooked dishes prepared by Han Meiqing.
There are West Lake vinegar fish, braised prawns in oil, Dongpo pork, fish head tofu, fried eel slices with shrimp, etc.
These dishes are really beautifully cooked, and they are no less impressive than those in professional restaurants.
Han Meiqing said with some regret: "There was originally a Longjing shrimp dish that I was better at, but I was too busy in the kitchen just now, so I didn't take care of it and the pot got burnt. I can only make it next time for you to try.
.”
As soon as she talked about Longjing shrimp paste in the pot, Han Meiqing thought of the scene in the kitchen when Xiao Changkun suddenly hugged her, and two rosy clouds immediately appeared on her beautiful face...
